Molex 0.5 mm Pitch 14 Way Right Angle Female FPC Connector ZIF Bottom Contact 52746-1471

Molex 52746-1471 is a 0.5 mm pitch FPC connector with 14 way right angle female contacts and a Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) bottom contact mechanism designed for compact and reliable PCB connections. It features a slide type actuator that facilitates easy insertion and removal of the flexible printed circuit (FPC) cable, ensuring a secure, low-wear connection useful for repeat cycling applications.

The connectors use phosphor bronze contacts plated with gold over nickel for high conductivity and durability. The nylon housing supports mechanical robustness and insulation, enabling it to operate safely over a temperature range of -20°C to 85°C and voltages up to 50 V. The connector assembly includes solder tabs for reliable surface mounting to PCBs, providing strain relief and retention.

This series supports one row of 14 contacts arranged with a right angle contact position and locking mechanism to maintain connection integrity in demanding applications. The movable contact design allows the contacts to move with the cable, reducing the risk of stress and ensuring electrical retention force.

Such FPC connectors are widely used in high-density electronic signal and data applications such as automotive navigation systems and audio devices, digital cameras, home security electronics, tablets, notebooks, patient monitors, GPS units, smartphones, and other mobile devices.

Zero Insertion Force bottom contact reduces wear and facilitates easy cable insertion. Durable phosphor bronze contact material with gold plating provides reliable electrical conductivity. Slide type actuator ensures secure connection and easy operation.

Right angle surface mount design saves PCB space in compact assemblies. Housing constructed from nylon for effective insulation and durability. Supports operating voltages up to 50V and currents up to 500mA with locking mechanism.

Range of operating temperatures from -20°C to 85°C suits varied environments. Suitable for automotive, consumer electronics, medical, and communication devices.
